Be careful, Captain! 
Please see Professor Lyo's summary [here](#👶beginner-help message) Regarding Gacha (Pyramid) outfits.
Gacha (Pyramid) Outfits
- DO NOT PULL UNLESS YOU CAN HARD PITY. NON-NEGOTIABLE.
- You need 9600
or 7680
if there is a discount.
- You need 9600
- No competitive benefit.
ooh icic. I've kind of already planned my priority listing but I wasn't sure of how much crystals I could max out! Thank you so much!! 
Guys, I'm a returnee, and now I'm saving for the next valk (she's the reason I'm back) I'm at 30k crystal am I save or not, planning to get the valk, and if possible the full equipment.
Last time I've played is from.... Argent knight release perhaps?
please spoiler tag ||mei|| since this is not known in glb yet
Oh, sorry
!faq supply
Hi, Captain! 
Please see Professor Lyo's explanation of every single supply [here](#👶beginner-help message) and find the banner you want to know about!
maybe give this a brisk to know what has changed since you last played. Mainly the equipment banner section

but tldr, stigs are no longer gacha only. You only need valk and weapon.
Valk pity is 90 rolls now but we do get a half discount on the first 10x roll so it's more like 85 rolls in cost.
Weapon pity is 60.
So putting that together you're looking at 145 rolls. It takes 280 crystals per roll so you can math from there.
We're still kind of early in the patch so you're probably safe with 30k crystals as long as you keep playing to get up to 40k. Be mindful of anything else you may want to get though.
=====
also team building has changed tremendously since you last played. Back in part 1 we build teams around damage elements and characters generally have very specific roles. Now we go by the astral ring system and any valk can be a dps or a support depending on how they fit in the team
!faq ring
Allow me to explain, Captain! 
Click here to view a list of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them!
Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:
- the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
- the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
- the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).

Read this for more details
the important thing is, just because you get the next new valk doesn't mean you'll be able to play her properly if you don't have matching teammates.
Tbh if your account is from that long ago you might want to consider restarting a new account. It's ok if you don't want to though.
If you are fine with restarting, we can discuss plans on how you can prep to have a full team for the next valk.
Oh, yes i do start a new account, but now I'm at chapter 26-28. I have HoT as the main carry, got her from the shop
My old account was from tw server
HoT is very out of date now. She doesn't have astral ring and was already outclassed by Lunar Vow even at max potential
Nowadays nearly all new teams have astral ring though. So anything without astral ring (especially anything farmable) is not going to be meta. Meta is important because competing against other players in abyss well gives you a lot of crystals
you don't need anything to clear story. Early story is very weak while later story forces characters on you regardless if you own them or not.
Meta wise story is just a source of crystals. It's not a measure of account progress.
Yea, i didn't know, but still, i like her, so that's okay. I'm pretty casual, so I'm not chasing abyss too much. I do get Dreamweaver though. Should I build her?
If you're more casual then meta isn't going to matter as much but HI3 is a game where a middle of both can exists.
As long as you're aware of the trade offs I can still tell you how to build older valkyries. I can even tell you how to build them cheaply/afforrdably or to a max degree.
Metawise again i don't recommend building non astral ring valkyries too greatly. DW is no exception really
HoHE is going to be farmable in war treasury next patch. The only valk i would be wary of losing here is DW if you care about her if you want to consider restarting but again this is not required.
Can you show me your stigmatas and weapons too? The purple and gold rarities are fine.
Unfortunately i had to chek them on my pc. But mostly i have sporadic stigmas, I'm still trying to build HoT, and just focus on building her
HoT's best gears are going to be handel set which is a G4 from foundry.
If you want something cheap, use edison set but this is far weaker.
Early game may have given you darwin set. Do not use it. It is the next generation of lightning dps stigs so to speak but its effects are very impractical to use and it costs alot more to upgrade.
Her best weapon is 7 thunders of retribution which is obtainable from reserve works battle pass shop
for teammates, ideal ones might be lunar vow and golden diva (eden). Maybe the recent Schicksal's Imperative Theresa too but i'm not sure about this. Herrscher of Truth is also a notable candidate.
But you don't have much of those. GD needs her weapon too.
On a budget you can consider Valkyrie Blastmetal (VBm Coralie), Reverist Calico (Pardofelis, RC), fischl (PV), Valkyrie Boltstorm (Helia VBs)
!faq crystallum
Hey there, Captain! 
Crystallums are a Battle Pass Currency that can be exchanged for Valkyries and Equipment in the Reserve Works. Captains who purchase Knight or Paladin BP can also access the BP Works of that patch for 3 versions.
There are 3 BP tiers offering different amounts of Crystallums as follows:
-# The totals below account for the 2 Crystallums in the Dorm Shop.
- Vanguard (F2P) BP: 5 per patch
- Knight BP: 18 per patch
- Paladin BP: 24 per patch
It is recommended to spend your Crystallums on Divine Keys that you have yet to collect for permanent account-wide ATK bonuses. See the list [here](#👶beginner-help message).
sorry please continue. This faq is something you can look at later
Iirc I'm using mag thunder pri, monet (t) the other two i forgot. HoReason is more equipped though. I gave her cyclops, scott (t), scott(m) Rasputin (b)
How stupi, i can check from hoyo lab
Monet T is better than Edison at least so sure you can keep that on
mag ty too if you dont' have any of her signature weapons
i'm not sure why i'm seeing the other two stigs there. Beware that newer stigmatas are craftable but are hyper specific to their intended users
did you get these from opening boxes? You may consider leaving those boxes alone in the future
!faq stigbox
Hey, Captain! 
In Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2, most new Valkyries will have a Stigma Option box given for free! But when should you use them?
If you are pulling for the corresponding weapon, you should open the box AFTER you have 2 different pieces of that stigmata set already. These stigma boxes are optimally used to finish a stigmata set. This also applies to Part 1 stigmata boxes, if you have any.
If you...
- Obtained the weapon before you got at least 2 stigmata set pieces, stop pulling! Open the box to get the best piece and then craft any missing stigmata (you can find these in Foundry).
- Already got the full stigmata set before the weapon (there are high chances that you did), keep the box as a collectible or open it, select a random stigma and salvage it for Source Prism.
- Are skipping or have skipped the corresponding weapon but want to get the Stigmata set, open the box first for the best piece then craft the other two via Foundry.
- Skipped the weapon and do not intend to craft the Stigmata set, you have no urgent reason to open the box, so keep it.
Regarding Bronya: N-EX, you can open the box once you own T or B and use it to finish TB. M is not BiS on SW.
Since I got them for free, and they has lightning/elemental/total dmg boost, i just slap them there 
In the future ideally leave the boxes alone for the reasons the faq described. Not really a big deal though
that Ely B piece gives 20% total damage at maxed but that's all you're getting from it. https://i.imgur.com/9DZKMyS.png
and the 59 atk
note how everything else after is specific to HLE
meanwhile the durandal piece at max only gives 10 total damage
Yes, that's why pick that one, because at least the standard passive is good 
I'm still farming the m stigma
it's not really good though, and you paid 14 source prisms to max these which are kind of hard to get early on
edison might give something close but at far cheaper of a cost
anyway i'm not here to cry over spilled milk. I just want to demonstrate to you so you can be mindful of similar considerations in the future
since they're already maxed i suppose you can use them for now until you get something better
We're digressing alot though. From what i understand you seem quite ||Mei focused and maybe we can discuss her other forms too (like HoO?). However all these old meis can be obtained in not costly ways over time. We should more focus on the new valk for now||
Oh, no worries. I am farming to get the rest stigmas, but seeing that she's outdated. Should I spent cysrtallums for her weapon? That's I'm aiming for
I do planning on getting HoO, but I'll leave that to next, one step at a time 
7 thunders is worth getting but not for actual usage reasons. It's only good now as a divine key which can passively give you stats from the dorm menu (+10 atk)
but i mean if you're just focused on mei then sure prioritize it first
my biggest concern is that even if you get the new valk, you won't be able to make them operate smoothly because you don't have supports for them
so we should really be focusing on how you can get these supports
i do have a few suggestions but one of them is going to be restarting your account.
I also want to ask where in the game do you plan to use these valks the most?
- Abyss is usually the main focus
- story you won't be able to use your own stuff a majority of the time. If you just want to run around late story mode maps with your own valks then that's fine but ||one of my plans is to get lunar vow, and she won't be available here in late story||
I'm going to post something in a different channel and ping you there
@sweet flax master is this the right setup?
(Remembrance sigil)
sorry for the delay just woke up lol
so i got JDS from the free pulls from starter banner how can i use her
the only valks i have that use astral ring rn are vita and boom kiana
how much do you understand astral ring team building? Do you know what do the ring type and tags of each of your valks mean?
which of these valks have their weapons? Gacha weapons are generally important. However for these valks, i wouldn't recommend catching up on them anymore with crystals. Save them for newer releases.
So astral ring valks are multifunctional. They can be a dps or a support depending on how the team is organized.
Signature weapons are important for personal damage. usually 30-40%. Basically without weapons, you're not really looking to use them as a dps unless you really have nothing else better.
Obviously your JDS doesn't have her weapon (again i don't recommend catching up on it), so while JDS leader with Vita and VBm Coralie can be a team, you're prob better off with something else.
all my characters have their weapons except JDS ofc
Ok the main team you're going to be running is probably FWS main dps with JDS and Vita as supports
somewhat ig? idk ive been playing less since after part 2 but im getting back bit by bit

maybe give this a read then. Go to the last link first after the center passages
alr ty
FWS Badum Kiana as leader <--- DPS. Ring type is Law of Ascension. This matches with Heavenly Shift tags on your supports
Vita and JDS both have heavenly shift.
you'll understand this later as you read through those. If anything doesn't make any sense, feel free to ask
alr tysm so ig saving for next patch rn would be better than getting jds weapon
JDS - Wheel of Destiny Ring type. Matches with Shadow Star tag.
Vita - Has shadow star
VBm - doesn't have shadow star but still has rite of oblivion to partially benefit
yeah
at this point JDS is kinda old so her use cases aren't as great or plentiful
when spending crystals you generally want as much long term mileage as possible, so generally the advice is to focus on new releases (valk and weapon together. No need for dupes)
songque is currently the worst dps valkyrie because her coverages were powercrept really badly
her shadow star support is also terrible but her heavenly shift support is not bad
that was the simpler summary for you so do what you want with that information
i should add that this is WITH her weapon, so without her weapon she's probably like a-rank coralie level or less lmao
No sonq is better than A rank coralie as an HSS supp even Wepless
that was satire lol
is there a way for me to change the bridge music?
if you're talkinb about the default bridge, there's like two soundtrack options
i remember in early part 2 this was the bridge music, but i dont know how to set it back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0aLXG9467U
just thought id upload this because its a nice theme. if you guys want an extended version, let me know
all rights belong to hoyoverse
#honkaiimpact3rd #honkaiimpact3rdpart2 #崩坏3 #hoyoverse
i'm not sure about pt2 bridge sorry
Is there intrest here?
i believe p2 bridge music is tied to the location u start with. like if u want antares building bgm u need to switch back to chap 1-3 as u start in oxia city back then
the image is also displayed in the message itself
the link is just there so that it shows up
it's this one
if you have any other questions regarding the guide feel free to ask
interesting.....
seeing as ||LV DLC|| is coming. you think her ranks are worth in the supply shop?
probs
but only matter in nirb
damn, I thought there would be something in the jukebox for me to buy
that antares building bridge music is such a vibe, sad it went away
Guys whne I rotate my phone, it doesnt work help
Check your phone settings. You may have turned off the setting which rotates your perspective on rotating your phone or try to read it in a different place. I don't get the prompt from the official site https://manga.honkaiimpact3.com/book/1004
actually u can turn story to chapter 1-3 and stay there so the bridge music keep playing
so i bought 330 bchips, thought there was a double on first time spender so planned to get 880 for the level rewards but now realized that it is a bit out of budget, what do i do with these bchips?
well, more so asking what's the best way to spend them
is there a guide on how to build Griseo for 0 second MA clears?
or should i just stick with HohE elysia + SS thelema for the forseeable future
griseo is not the main dps. she is an enabler with leader skill that provide SP so ur dps can use their ult without having to farm for it
CE 0s is mainly SD alien mom. bcs her ult also break SD hp
i dont think i saw any 0s without her signature gears. i managed without her M stig though
i see... i will just stick with part 2's for now
for that little you are mostly looking out for the deals where you can buy 1 pull card for 60 chips
theres usualy 1-2 of them per patch
i think i ran Hohe + songque + thelema for the SD boss... but i dont remember
first time double bonuses are only for xtals
jds fish skip is removed so idk if that team can 0s
and yeah CE is mostly used to supp Luna
she's free this patch so ig u wanna try something huh
oh so i just slowly buy out the 60 package over time
got it
I need a sensei
how does one redeem codes?
Then wait until someone from NA logs in here.
All right
sent a recruitment
m
is this a manual character or do i get her through story?
i think its the one im missing for calico team
Asterite shop
thx!
wait about the asterite shop, what should i buy there
#👶beginner-help message see pins
oh this exists!
yeah i found it just as you said that haha
thx again tho
the pins thing i always forget whats in there
so im only missing TA for this team, should i still go for SSS VBm and S VBs or should i go TA to complete the team?
You generally want to buy out at least VBm fragments each week as you can buy fewer of the fragments of astral ring valks.
VBs isn't that important
Getting TA fragments first is also fine.
so, i should buy out the 25 VBm and then invest on getting TA
thx for the help! ill get on with farming then
im just missing some damage to get the 2 stages im missing of QManifold for manual
Hey any guidance of the Foundry?
Either im blind or i see nothing on the pins
I have gotten the stigmatas for "Herrscher of the Void" that appear in this i got sent https://imgur.com/a/w4dwKkf
I only crafted the attila one since its the one i was missing
but ive been checking around and apparently i also have to craft the rest for other characters?
these are the ones im looking for if it helps
ah i guess its stage 6, im on 5 and still need to get the 3rd daily bp tomorrow
so i guess im not getting those yet
Your crafting priority is like
- Theresa Gluttony T
- Rouald Amusen 3pc
- Tsiolkovsky if you have a lot of spare prisms (enough for next patch + maxed all gacha stigs)
- Maybe Attila B if you’re using a lot of HoV dps
Everything else is niche or expensive enough it’s not a priority
Until you have a ton of mats spare
great to know this!
1 more quick question
Shoot
i need these to craft stigmatas, but currently i can only get the 2 im missing through asterite (400 for both to be exact)
should i buy those or just focus on getting fragments with asterite
You can get them from story or open world or weekly quiz or such
I wouldn’t spend asterite on them
Since once you craft gluttony you mostly don’t use them for anything and instead break them down into asterite
If it takes another day to get gluttony it’s not a big deal
Great then :D ill advance a bit more inthe story to get those 2 i need
turns out the mission i have to do rn gives me 1 so it wont take long since i get the 2nd
thx for the help!
No problem
is there a way to gain xp other than doing story missions?
So I had this very random question about the layout
Is it normal for it to be this small on mobile?
Is there any way to make it as big as it is on a laptop?
Anything that spends stamina
So also expeditions and dailies and such
And your BP missions
what team can i currently build ? 😭
Crimson Impulse should be fine for early missions, you should also get Herrscher of the Void as login reward inside the first week, but you can't really build anything at this point.
Really just throw three valks together and it should work out later you can follow these setups #👶beginner-help message
the wording is throwing me off. does it mean i can only convert it to 10 souls when a valk ranks up (what does that even mean). because i can just press use and get the 10 souls right?
It only works if you already have the Valkyrie
U can only use stamps on valks u own
i dont have herrscher of reason but i can convert the stamp?
U cant
ah yeah tried to press the button and i doesnt work
okay i ranked up HoT thanks everyone :)
note that dorm squad exp stop at SS rank (for the S base)
Yes see exp sources in dorm
yes A base do give dorm squad exp up to SSS, SP valks give a lot while normal valks give 1/3 of that
Who is the easiest boss for HoT Mei in ER? Just did a run and couldnt finish it because i picked elysia
Mobius
It's more of an aspect ratio difference, not a size difference
And afaik you can't change the UI size
Is there any particular DKey to choose from here if I don't own any of them?
non exactly
they are all available elsewhere
if you're not in a rush you can just keep the box
although if you get abyss flower or fenghuang down you need their counterparts in order to get the atk so i would prioritize those last
7T has some use in MA clears if you have the right battlesuits but it’s pretty niche
the reroll device is nice if youre willing to get all the dkeys from reserve works
And is there a list of how Part 1 Valks should be built? Part 2 Valks all have their own prism stigs and weapons but I'm quite lost on how to build any of the Part 1 Valks, be it for the stress tests or just Elysian Realm
And yeah reroll device is hard to get your hands on so could save for that long term
Should Reserve Works be used for the DKeys? I don't mind waiting but I've been saving for HoFi just because I want that battlesuit
most of the time its whatever that you have and a level 35 foundry or something you have leveled or need to level like the blade realm of battle dkey
yes that's the best use for reserve works
and your best use of crystallums unless you're paying for paid bp then the limited stuff there might have more value
Alright thanks 
I suppose the right battlesuit in this case would be HoT?
HoO also uses it if you have her
I see, I'll probably just exchange 7T from Reserve Works then, thanks 
just so you wont know the 7t use is niche i won't level it unless you know what you're doing or gonna use it for
even for fun you can always level it later
Yeah it’s not very useful, just nonzero and every other dkey is basically zero
Alright I wasn't planning on leveling it up immediately anyways I'm too broke to do that lol I just had a lot of random stuff in my supplies section of my inventory and have been trying to clear it up a little by getting all the useful things
what do i use this MA / Abyss?
Does your JDS have her weapon?
Pretty sure no
Not many options then xdd
Rita HLE JDS if she doesn't, JDS HLE Rita if she does
That's for Abyss
Is that better than HLE VBM RC? Like the buffs from a full team are enormous but you get back a full 50% weather and type counter on your dps
Ig you can just dps with HlE in ARC
The SO rot is pretty bricked iirc, no?
Well you can just do WA WA ult finisher right?
Yeah, but I think you lose too many buffs
Gotta keep in mind that RC is on copium
like 10 pts better

state of account is that if no rita shill i die ig
what do i use for MA then?
Altho actually I don’t know is RC even better than wrong ring Rita here
For buffs
Probably right
HLE on Kevin, Rita on Sampo and JDS on the SS boss
Yeah surely
Just from buff up times and refreshing with SO prob not
Add VBm and RC where you feel like you don't have enough damage
oh i can check that instead
Tbh I would probably put JDS as a Rita support, getting a better score on SSS probably better than a better overall score because it increases the AW AL
And putting her on SS only helps if it jumps an entire category
Of overall score
And that way you can give HlE RC and VbM
Even buff wise she's way better lmao, but you would wanna split your two good valks in MA anyway most of the time
Yeah in MA sure
God HLE dps with VBM ME support sounds cursed but might be best option
It's just as cursed as vbm RC
even a bit less but tbh a decent ME team might outscore anyway
Gonna be eating in 8.7, dw
Assuming you have xtals for that ofc
surely
i'd have ~50k by then
Yeah you're fine
what do i even pull for for 3 whole team 😭
|| currently just mei + dkey ||
It is
||That gets you Mei dps, HLE dps, Luna dps||
||with other two as supps||
how do i even use rita as the support lol
Just land her WA
To trigger buffs
oh nice
Hit WA or qte
ME support for GoI 
I don't think Rita's stig 3pc even does anything in GoI xdd
Her other buffs should still trigger though
Well her individual stig buff are tight to it
An that's like ele DMG taken ele DMG dealt and total DMG dealt
So pretty nice
Hm actually maybe leave the QTE on so you get your full bar more easily for stellar drain
At the same time that also feels a bit like a time waste for Vbm buffs so 
The question is whether that's worth the time loss
Yeah lmao
Cuz it'll only be 10 ARI
Gotta test it then, iirc hle had some tight Ari timing with cope teams from time to time so depends ig
HLE has tight ARI timing with BiS teams (if no AO) 😭
Even if you have aop you're CD gated 
I assume you'll need to rebuff regardless of whether you CA on Rita
And at that point might as well not bother imo
Yeah but it's more about that HLE gets less time with Vbm buffs
That too ofc
Yeah expected, it's still a 2/3 cope team so makes sense
Hey,i have a question,i just pulled Miss Espionage,and i was wondering if i NEED to pull for her weapon(51 before guaranteed)or should i pull instead in the returnee event which includes Jovial deception since i am at 38 before guaranteed
Miss Espionage is much better than JDS these days
but if you love JDS that could take priority over meta for you
You generally don't wanna be getting valks without weaps
In hi3 you should never pull character without weapon unless you are a casual just collecting valks and don't care about damage, they are very important and usually the nearest alternative is as big as 50% dmg loss and/or you lose important functionality. Get the wep 
It's ~30-40% usually tbf
Still massive ofc
Thele was the only extreme one with 60%
JDS is not worth getting atp
Use only free pulls there
So she can’t be used as a support for Miss Espionage?The only supports that i have that fit her attributes are Cosmic Expression for the lighting support,and Valkyrie Boltstorm since they both have the same special attribute
The problem is,they are both still at A ranks
They don't really fit as they don't have the correct astral ring tag.
You're not expected to speedrun a full team. Both valks on the starter supply are suitable supports for her, but both are also pretty old and have pretty much no DPS usage left as a result
we usually suggest planning for future valkyries instead, every patch usually gives just enough crystals to be able to afford them
and as a beginner you have a ton of extra crystals sources to go through
In the meantime it's fine to use supports that don't directly support Miss Espionage's astral ring type. Valkyrie Blastmetal (VBm) is your best early game valk for that case, the third slot can be either Boltstorm (VBs) or one of the p1 supports that are generally alright like Pardofelis RC (Reverist Calico)
VBs because she primarily provides lightning dmg buffs
RC has a total dmg taken debuff on enemies by casting purple combo atk or ult
VBS also gives stellar drain which is nice
Next patch is also expected to be somewhat more expensive then normal so having a bit extra crystals for that one is a very reasonable idea.
In practice the choice is between the better long term value play which is no backpulling and the better short term play which gives you a team right now but leaves you with units which aren't going to do much reasonably soon.
oh okay,good to know,i’ll soon have enough of ancient willpower to pick Azure Empyrea,since in their guide description,it says that she is a element support,so i could choose her to make Espionage stronger,and by that,i could also replace Boltstorm since i imagine that she is pretty outdated nowadays
AE is more outdated than Boltstorm though
Oh,she is?so is boltstorm better then?
yeah true,but it is always better to at least pick up Espionage weapon before i could start saving up my crystals
Yes
you can easily get the weapon until then
AE is not that good in comparison because of her kit issues more than her buffing capability
so don't worry, as long as you do your starter manual and growth regimen
to add onto that, look for valk release dates to find out if someone else powercrept her.
also ingame recommendations are notoriously unreliable
About that,i am not really a “Beginner”i joined at 2022,but since then,i kept quitting and rejoining every year,so sadly,i don’t think that i have the starter manual
Powercrept is kinda irrelevant in this case since hotr is in the same boat
i see..
Best part about it,i still have a lot of stories that are still incomplete,and they give me a lot of crystal each chapter
mhm
that's the majority of one time crystal income
so hope is not lost, assuming you really want to keep playing on the same account
and at that point, might as well try
hopefully this time i won’t quit,i really do like the combat and the characters designs,there’s still 24 days before the banner ends,so i imagine that i’ll have enough time to get the weapon too

just be aware that building teams to redlotus level of ready takes time, like multiple patches
I didn’t knew that sakura world gives that much crystal 😭
oh and one last question that i have in mind
patience is key and not skipping weapon is also important
ask as many as you need
in the war treasury,which characters do you recommend?
valks in ER first
for the shallow sequence, valk level and ego signet collection crystals
jeez,that’ll be annoying
we've all been there
chilling in agony is also fine, see high agony as your current goal
BiS isn't necessary to retain RL in most cases
just have an on-brand team. you want to fill as many niches as necessary with your pulls
with rita: imaginary, lightning, paralyze and wheel of destiny dps would be filled for you already
the next valk will fill more slots, being a suitable support for your previous valks is a bonus
!faq war treasury
Hey, Captain! 
Click [here](#👶beginner-help message) to see the War Treasury Farming Recommendation, which is kept updated!
Short Answer:
- If there are limited-time discounts on character cards, buy them ASAP!
- Prioritise buying character cards of Valkyries that are in Elysian Realm.
- After that, unlock everyone else for dorm progression.
so i imagine that getting valks in higher ranks are better than getting new valks from the war treasury?
war treasury is just for farming PWO, ER and Dorm lvls
Also meaningful for Dorm tasks as you need one for each stat at SS
Yes, but the same can be said of PWO
oh yeah PWO is just the endgame use
for which you need to SSS WT valks in order to get them from fragment conversion
so choosing the cheapest option is important for that
dorm lvls only give xp until SS though
for WT valks that is
So if i understand correctly,they are not really useful,so it’s better to just get the cheapest one so i could level up my dorm?
yeah, unlock them all first
an extra bonus, they wont show up as "new" valks in dorm supply anymore
so you're getting actually otherwise unobtainable valks
Ram
See which ones are in ER first some of them are not and are therefore really low priority
yes?
What does ER stands for?
no I'm not suggesting dorm supply pulls
elysian realm
Elysian realm
it unlocks at level 50
oh okay thanks a lot
gives weekly crystals and also a lot of 1 time crystals
Hi :3
I am, booking flights back to dl finally going home soon
btw,why do i have to choose those that are in ER?
Kind of
a
er valkyries can give you crystals
Basically work was pushed online and I wanted to visit family 
Now im forced to go back
if you unlock them in the elysian realm. There's no rush on it
but eventually you want them all and to get like 620 crystals each
ah oki
ohhh,so it gives me more crystal then,got it
that’s great,i’ll have more crystals then
yeah see the crystal guide, should be in there how much

But in deep sequence,i can only beat it at void,which barely gives me any crystal,so idk how do i get passed that
got it
Any geared valk does well
Even vbm
part 2 valks are cheating
Also getting the right signets
okay not necessarily
Later p1 units too
4/4 part 2 is cheating
Anyone after 5.0 basically
like, some p2 valks without weapon are restricted to one of their playstyles
what i hate about deep sequence,is that i have to bring my own valkyries,which they are only lvl 61 compared to the trials ones that are lvl 80,so i deal barely any damage
but they can beat finality
in ER your valk is automatically level 80
and max skills
skills are also maxed
ER really shows how much difference gear makes
you can switch over generic stigmas like peary to whoever your using, or ideally use valkyries like VBM whose gear you have
weird,because for me,they show me that my valkyrie is locked at lvl 61,not at max lvl
vbm and vbs are comfy clearers, even on finality
visual only, in battle they're level 80
read the text on the right for "Elysian Realm Adjustments"
it mentions the lvl 80 thing
Well i have HoT on Edison set,idk if that’s good enough
edison is not great
on s0, finality isn't fun
could be worse tho
you can clear up until inferno with it though
best ER signets are the non-ult focused ones that enhance 4th and 5th basic attack
the ult focused ones only pop off if you get seven thunder for HoT
oh,so i guess it’s only my stigmas that are the problem,not my level
More like the difference between additive and multiplicative buffs
your signets also matter a lot
work okay
i mean, lvl 35 wep and edison should be winnable
In the pinned er guide there are pretested builds that show what you should generally aim for
There's two FULL VODs. The commentary in this vid is somewhat self deprecating and cringe. Don't worry I'm over it. In the first half I dog on HoT because I'm clueless, then 2nd half I dog on myself for not realizing that muramasa is goated. I think 1st half generally has better commentary if I had to choose. Basically I'm just a baby man who ca...
an extreme example
15 minutes wtf
it's better that he didn't
because that makes this technically still viable
you can do much better of course
also lower difficulty means faster clears, obviously
so i just have to copy their build,should be easy enough
Dont you have rita
not 1 by 1
Or did I misread the convo here
mhmm
rita but no wep
yeah i just got her
and f2p scythes suck ass
so sadly she isn’t build yet
Can just use VBM
Its 2.25x at most i dont think you need weapon for er
VBM is broken
what does VBM stands for? i imagine it’s a weapon for her right
Ye but you just want an atk stat stick tbf
ohhh the one that is A rank? is she good?
the problem is there is none, unless you max onyx iron
Since iirc none of Rita's kit is locked behind weapon aside from the img thing
shes the best free support for abyss and really strong in ER
Da wei help scythe
with the ARC build
so do i get it either way,or should i just save my resources,i’m pretty broke right now
or raph magically pulled horb scythe
out of nowhere
Just use blastmetal her wep is free
from p2 story
very early on
oh really? that’s great,if only i have her ;-;
You mean rita scythe? Yes pull it since you have rita
p2 chapter 1 specifically
shes also free from story
Vbm? Her weapon is in story
her and her wep both
You can rank her up via asterite shop too
vbm dupe and her wep are literally the first 2 unlocks
alr,i’ll try focusing on p2 story,i barely even touched it,idek what’s p2 story even about
the first 3 chapters are entirely disconnected from previous story
All a ranks are farmable
so don't worry about spoilers or lack of infos
yeah,but i’m short on asterite,and i’m trying to s rank some valkyries supports
up until the end of chapter 3 where p1 and p1.5 context really helps to understand
okay thank good
Blastmetal is the best support in that shop anyway
which is also good
why as no one told me that before,i could save my account earlier when i had the chance 💔
just a heads-up, the "events" tab in those 3 chapters are very disorganized. see this for reading order, although consider that it includes time-limited events as well that ran back then (e.g. A Feast Sought in Data and Flying to Oxia), nothing too story critical was time-limited thankfully
https://honkaiimpact3.fandom.com/wiki/User:Haps_Vier?profile=no#Extinguished_Starlight_and_Rekindled_Fire
tl:dr: play "Banquet Dance of Shade" after chapter 1, some of the last story chapters are also listed in that events menu
we previously had new players who were confused af with how it looks ingame
But since it’s a new completely different story,i imagine that they aren’t really connected from part 1?
ch 1-3 is like a deep dive into the new cast of characters
and only focuses on those
oh okay
people assumed the p1 cast would be abandoned but that didn't turn out to be true
i don’t get why they would do that,it kinda ruins the momentum that they had with part 1
not really, part 1 concluded
p1.5 was also it's own thing and kinda ended
p2 plays after 1.5 chronologically, before APHO though
seriously? back then,i heard that they won’t be brought up in part 2,thank god that it isn’t the case
yeah but for me,it didn’t make sense to me when i first try part 2,i was so confused 😭
and hoyo keeps doing p1 character releases as astral ring releases, as you can see from Rita
i kinda started into p2 unbiased at the time
yeahhh,i’m glad that they didn’t forgot about part 1 cast
like 7.3 was my first patch
p2 release
it didn't stop me from enjoying p1 as well
so you started at p2 instead of 1? that’s insane,because back then,when part 2 just started i heard that it was so “bad” that people were quitting because of it
that being said, events are pretty much spoiler free
no matter how much you know about part 2, you can enjoy all of them without knowing anything besides who character x is
so they are permanent events?
yes.
voyage log keeps all of the previous patch main events, since 7.8
the only thing that gets cut are the reward shops and some limited-time rewards
alright,i’ll try part 2 then,i wanted to just skip it all,but i’ll give it a try
it's not replayable, so yeah you would've regretted skipping
aw,so i won’t get any crystals then? that sucks
oh no you do get crystals
just less
ohhhh okay then
yeah i used to do that at the beginning of part 1
and all of the gameplay remains intact, besides online versus and leaderboards
okay fair enough, part 1 beginning is super rough
xd
yeah ;-;
chapter 2 being just a glorified tutorial
like at first,it was so bad for me,i genuinely thought that the story was going to be bad for the rest of the game 💔
i mean at least the first few chapter 1 missions are a nice introduction
but yeah, early p1 is mixed and i think it's why a lot of new players judge early and quit
i always imagined they could make players start into p2, by choice of course
like a first selection screen when you create your account
instead p2 needs level 30 to even begin
thankfully,i joined in late 2022,so the story was already really good
feels like every old gacha game with a good story is dragged down by a sloggy intro that they never updated
but such is life
pretty much
other hoyo games also suffered the same fate
they aren't really good with that
from gi to zzz
that would actually be pretty neat,i mean honestly,since p2 have a wayyy higher budget than the beginning of p1,obv a lot of people would’ve choose p2
many people started because of part 2 too
i hate that so much,it genuinely ruins the experience for new beginers
from what i heard,they are even using the same engine as they use in star rail,so compared to p1,a lot of beginners would be more interested on trying p2 than the 2016 chapter 1 through 3 levels map 💔
most (every?) hoyo game uses some modified version of the unity engine
they did upgrade the engine with p2's release, affecting every previous game content too
as for how interested people are between p1 and p2, it's a hot debate honestly
i wonder if they’ll ever going to upgrade the early chapters of p1 too,they really need that
reburn used to be an early p1 update
although that happened very early into p1 still
lets just say, stages used to be even more grindy and a lot..
yeah,but for now,since p2 isn’t finished yet,i’d say that p1 is better for people who are interested in the lore,though p2 is generally better for newer players
later p2 needs p1 context to fully understand
so you can't really skip p1 completely without being confused
and the fact that they still are 😭 i still barely understand the game stages for grinding
the dailies got taken care of to be fair
LITE for whatever highest lvl stage has all objectives completed
yeah,i mean it’s great to move on from one to another project,but they can’t just focus on only p2 cast without any context of p1
true true,at least they are understandable now
so if you want to know more and don't mind spoilers, ask #📚honkai-lore
just don't play trials tbh
or do play them and be mindful of "evasion" and "ult" objectives
or the worst of all: hit count
i’ll definitely be using that when i’ll get into the p2 story 😭
it's a lore related channel
feel free to ask, also say what your current knowledge is if you do mind spoilers
i don’t get what they are even used for nowadays,the valkyries from the trials are too outdated to be used in combat
to speedrun expeditions on new accounts
alright,thanks for reminding me that
the problem is just that they oneshot everything, making the completion of some objectives difficult
and you need all 3 to unlock auto on that expedition
yes hit count is easy
i mean just have an unleveled b rank valk as 3rd slot or something
Having some lvl 1 valks to hit the conditions is generally a good idea
mhm
what i definitely hate the most,is the complexity of crafting stigmas,i can’t even craft the simpler ones,they’re so grinding,even with lite,i can’t just skip it either
oh yeah be mindful of those objectives too in p1 story, one gives 5 crystals
which adds up fast
yeah,there’s generally no reason to level up those outdated valks anyway
veteran players would say that it used to be worse, nowadays most non-prism stigs are irrelevant or niche
don’t worry,i always focus on the objective so i don’t miss out on any crystal,even 5 crystals are valuable in this game
however the worst sre still exchange shop stigs
Starting manual generally helps a lot on the early stigmata grind and after that it doesn't matter anymore
some are still recommended for memorial arena
well obviously,veteran players have way more resources than new players do,i don’t get why honkai have so many different materials and different specific ways to get them,i just makes the grinding part even less fun than it usually is in other gacha games
they really are the worst 😭 i’ll probably never get one,they’re too grindy
i wish they have starting manual for returnee players,it’s so annoying that i have to go all of this trouble as a returnee player
depends on who you ask really, many old mats converted into asterite or coins so older players have had a time of abundance on those ressources
i really do like honkai,but the grinding part genuinely ruins the experience for me
there’s too many things to remember
otherwise the stig grind was always kinda what it is
unless you pulled the same stigs on release
Old game and slow accumulation of different resources means you end up with a lot of resources which sometimes matter but often aren't really important
at least what i do like about crafting stigmas,is that the newer ones are way easier to craft than those older stigmas
especially those purple cubes,i have so many of them,but i usually never use them
g1 stigs need them and you usually farm those for resonance farming
although theyre stupidly cheap anyway
the honkai pieces that is not the stigs
g1 mirage mats are still time consuming to farm
Yes they fixed the grind by excluding new gear from the grind not be reforming the grind wholesale
you oneshot everything though
just double evade with rita in lighting g1
for context, kallen pledge is one of the cheapest sets
which needs lightning g1
the most expensive resource will be ether fuel that you end up burning
idk i guess on shitty devices and hdds it sucks
loads fast enough for me even on mobile
but yeah no loading screen would be better
I mean it takes half second. X 10 = 5 seconds.
Hey guys should I take vita and Kiana baldum at this point, these girls look gorgeously
For abyss performance backpulls are highly discouraged in general and LP or FWS does not help enough to get over that. I would rather look at ME or next patch valk as a baseline but what is your current account situation?
What is sakura samsara? How do i play this gamemode?
one of maps in open world
new accounts are stuck to apho 1 apparently
so u have to finish that first to a certain extent or something first
they aren't stuck there, the level restriction are just higher on sakura samsara and schicksal hq. apho 1 and 2 unlock first
From "Account Progression Pointers"
APHO Open World unlocks at level 40 since 7.3 ... Sakura Samsara and Schicksal HQ unlock at level 50
they changed stuff around i see
p2 changed a lot yeah
when voyage log came out, chronicles were also pushed back to level 30
along with voyage
i actually discovered that recently
there will be a story line to follow, feel free to do this for the rewards. they don't really follow any direct continuity with part 1's story, just assume it happened early on
on top of the story, there will be open world tasks that give materials on completion
you're able to do 5 of these 3 times a week. Monday, Thursday and Saturday
a huge stamina sink, but you will level up that specific open world which improve your rewards too. In sakura samara and schicksal hq you also unlock milestone missions every now and then that give additional crystals
I just returned to playing this game after a few years and haven't had any new generation Valkyries yet
my account already limit break also
He one question, are her buffs stackable? With that i mean, if i stack 5 red paints, will i deal 100% increased damage to unshielded enemies?
crystals?
1000 crystal rn
i spent all the crystal before leaving this game
That smells a lot like waiting for next patch. How are you on one time crystals? See pins for a list
80 pulls guarantee
No, in her passive it's mentioned then regaining the buff just refreshes the duration
Focus on completing the missions for Lunar vow.
For Abyss you don't want to pull without being able to guarantee weapon
it gonna take a lot crystal to pull the weapon and stigmas lol
but okay
Only weapon matters since stigs are craftable and yes without spending you can't really afford more then the new patch valk + weapon each patch, but that is decently affordable even without spending as you probably need to skip every fifth patch or something similar
i thought that referred to the general mixing buff lol
BRO WHAT stigmas are craftable now
this game became f2p when

They did a big revamp at around the start of part 2 and I haven't had issues keeping up with RL, Nirv bounce without spending
Unless you're referring to something different that I am there's no general mixing buff, the lines says "gain the corresponding mixing buff for 20s ( refreshes upon gaining it again ) " but sometimes the kits can be a bit unclearer than this or complicated so feel free to ask any questions about kits
that's pretty cool ngl
I actually quite enjoy reading skills so I should be able to help with common wording patterns etc.
What i mean to say is from where i can open this gamemode... I dont think i can find it. Is it with apho?
there is a globe symbol in the apho menus
from there you can swap open worlds
kinda annoying but yeah you basically need to enter apho first on fresh accounts and even new installs of the game
before you can swap into the open world you want to do
Just ask here and someone can answer, but I will try to answer when I have time if you ping me
I haven't started the second part of Honkai yet, but I wanted to know if there are any advantages outside of combat for getting an AstralOp. I was thinking of using 60 pulls to get Serapeum. Can she be used to explore areas or to put on the homescreen?
Only combat benefits
That's too bad. Thank you for responding so quickly.
combat benefits are also very minimal before SS
You can put her on the p2 bridge and afaik also walk around with her if you're exploring p2 areas outside of the normal story, from a meta perspective serapeum is not recommended atp but if you're casual it's your decision in the end
I want to emphasize that it has to be a p2 bridge so you can't put her on buyable P1 bridges like the train station for example
I understand that Fu Hua AE is no longer used as a P1 Valk, but what if I still wanted to use this unit as a DPS? Aside from Margrave and Oblivion Down, I have no clue how a team would be built. I've been using her with Sparkle, and it feels ok.
Any pointers on P1/P2 Valks would be great. 
Her best team should be AE/sparkle/HoTr
Ik that @frozen crypt sometimes clear side stages with her so maybe she can give you a bit more insight on this than I could.
Other than that I want to emphasize that investing heavily into her isn't recommended at this point but I'm quite sure that you are aware of that and are just doing it for the fun which I respect and can understand
AE provides breach I use AE Sparkle CN
You just have to ult on AE as the first thing in the rot which feels unnatural but your rot will be fucked if you do not
Her best stigs are FoV's but you probably don't have them, Margrave won't really come close to it but better than nothing. It can probably clear low level content
Also keep in mind my AE is SSS
I'll probably think about picking up FoV's set from the Reserve Works. My AE is still only SS2, but it's a work in progress
Thank you so much for the insights! Much appreciated 
Damn ur serious about this
I like it
If u need any help with it ping me
Up until recently I was able to clear fire ganesha in nirvana which is (or at least was - they released some new ones that are much worse) notoriously one of the hardest side stages in the game. AE dps is genuinely pretty strong considering she was never designed to be a dps but obviously it's not gonna compare to more modern teams xD
Doubt she could be used seriously on bosses these days, more of a funny team to use for mobbing
It's awful in MA due to her complete reliance on the 90 starting sp to ult asap to start the rot
I also have qte on for AE dps
Had no clue it actually somewhat works, was mostly doing it for fun
All the more motivation
Lyowo
Yeah genuinely if you have the right gear it will blast any kind of redlotus or below fire/ignite mobbing
Caway


from who do i get the code?
Early story has no voice acting, it only gets added in later chapters
whats this sign mean, and what do i do with it
how muxh crystals do I need for a dkey?
Typically you want about 17k
oh nice
But it can always come home early if you’re lucky
what about fill valk?
Should i get rita or save? I have kiana ba dum and elysia right now
How many crystals do you have
1878 and s rank guaranteed in 29 pulls
And what does your 1 time sources look like
Yeah I’d save. Next patch is gonna be more important for you and you can’t afford Rita anyway
Ok
Next patch is ||Mei|| who suppprts ||both HLE and Badum and uses both as supports||
And also a spending event
Ooh
Okok
And is the best way to get crystals rn just story for beginners or a diff way
Make sure you’re keeping up with abyss and Elysian realm because they’re time limited but yeah, story is best 1 time sources
There’s also some in ER story and open world tho
Alr tysm
Helloes! Anyone got suggestions for current MA? all are 4/4 except for songque
Kind of awkward since you don’t have anything really good for sampo. Could try one of
- RS Vita Sonque Kevin, Rita HLE Sena sampo
- RS Rita Sonque Kevin, Sena/simp vita Simp/lamp sampo
Maybe
Oh alright
Tysm! Have a great day!
Hmm also possible you do Rita HLE Sena on Kevin and Dudu Vita Sonq on sampo but I think that’s worse?
Do the Starter Coupons just expire after the Training Shop goes away?
Yes
Ok ty. I bought out the shop and was wondering if there was a reason to do last minute training missions (like progressing APHO part 2), but I guess not.

i dont know if im just stupid, but i uderstand nothing said in that pinnged mesasge. What is pled of sakura? Oath of judah?
This is what i see when i open it
They're in the foundry and you farm materials for the foundry in universal mirage
ohhhh
so i just do whatever of these 4?
No not really, you'd wanna find pledge of Sakura first and do whatever material that weapon requires
oh ok i get it now
actually no i dont get it, none of those resources show up in the foundry
am i doing something wrong again?
Nah that's the right place, for pledge of Sakura you need to craft the spirit weapon first and then craft the actual weapon so try to find both of those, then ether fuel ( the green thing ) is also obtained via universal mirage
ok! im gonna try to figure it out. Im sorry if im asking too many quesitons im just lowk completely lost on this game haha
Np lmao the game is very old and it shows, sometimes things are all over the place but we are here to answer those questions
It's not like this channel is flooding with questions either so idm any questions really lmao
ohhhh ok i see why i didnt understand what was going on
im level 40, i need 50!
guess ill need to keep onwards
thx for the help, ill however check the wiki to see what it needs and do 3 floors rn for the manual
The first clear of each stage also free so you can also clear some other stages without wasting attempts just fyi
sweet!
Welp im back. So i was sent this imgur with good starter builds and teams, but im REALLY enjoying using Reverist Calico, like a LOT. However the imgur only shows her with her base weapon. In the case i wanna use her further, what weapon should i get her?
Purana. It’s in a box in starter manual
Best pick there
im guessing thats around phase 8 onwards?
i dont think ive gotten that so far
oh
nvm i knew i had heard that somewhere
oh i can get that soon! only 8 more pulls :D
It’s under supply givaway
For her stigs ideally as a support you’d want like turg TB Mei M but those are expensive for marginal use so you’ll probably use Theresa gluttony T fu Hua musician Mb or rouald Amusen instead
im guessing shes unable to be used as a main dps then
Yeah, she’s pretty old and was a support even when she was new
But she’s one of the better free supports
I still use her in MA sometimes
For beginners the most important free support is VBM but then RC is a solid tier 2 with TA and (sometimes, depends on who they have) VBS
damn, shes doing more damage than my herrscher somehow so i guess im doing something wrong lOL
Guys, is kevin ma boss is not for part 1 valks? I used hot, and she's barely deal any dmg to him. Am I going to lose my crystal 
If you have TA + palatinus equinox you can use that
Or HoO or trio
It’s not specifically P1 that doesn’t work
What does your roster look like?
Old 
Mostly not built yet
I think I've made a mistake by breaking through lvl 81 
Does anyone have gear? It sounds a little cursed but maybe you could do HotR dps here
The lack of ice supports will suck for it tho given how barren the account is
Almost certainly gonna have to use buffed mode too
Probably would look like HotR AE and then seeing if you have the asterite for Ta or RC
And then maybe HoT on sampo?
Oh, hot, ae & fischl are locked to kevin (wasted really)
I'm thinking of just chasing sampo or argent knight
Only for the crystal
This is what training mode is for but yeah if it’s already too late…
Argent knight doesn’t have crystals
So you can ignore her
I’m a bit worried you can’t clear sampo either and won’t get any crystals but might still manage if you go all in on Kevin
But it’s your call and I don’t even know if it would work
All I can advice is test it before locking more Valkyries
Yea, i guess it's my fault breaking through when not prepared 
I can't even clear abyss now 
I assume you’re attached to the account?
Not really, I'm returning, and I'm aiming to get the next new valk. That's the main reason I'm back.
Now my crystal is around 38k, so yea, is rerolling gonna be safe?
If you have 38k crystals that’s a reason to stick with it
That’s enough to guarentee next patch
I was expecting you not to have any crystals and thus suggest a new one but 38k is more than I’d want to give up
I’d focus on building Valkyrie Blastmetal if I can. Her weapon is free in part 2 story and she’s a really strong generic support
Can probably help your part 1 teams even now and next patch you’ll really want her
Okay, one of the professor here (i assume the one with the 'ssr' coloured name) suggest me to pull the sushang rerun? For investment for the new valk?
I still have tons of story content to clear, so I guess I can farm more. I'm at the chapter 26-28 i believe.
Shushing is what you would pull if you were rerolling
Since that way she would be basically free
But if you’re not rerolling there’s no reason to
My suggestion would be
-||Priority 1: Pull Mei + Wep next patch. Worst case 40k crystals but probably significantly chesper||
-||Priority 2: Get Lunar Vow this patch and pull her dkey next patch. 60 pulls / 17k crystals for a full valkyrie that supports mei||
If you achieve those two you will have two mostly not cope teams and will easily shoot into agony 3 abyss
Your third priority would be
-||Grab either Badum or FDD from Carnival free pulls, but don’t pull their weapon. Paws would also be okay but a worse pull than those two. Only spend 20 free pulls, unless you end up with 20k crystals after dkey in which case we can talk||
Which would help but is less important than the first two
In the mean time while preparing for next patch you’ll could work on upgrading Valkyrie Blastmetal, especially getting her weapon from part 2 story if you haven’t yet and ranking her up. You can also see about getting Reverist Calico and Terminal Aide from the asterite shop with spare Asterite
I should just use this no?
Same rotation but I deal so much worse
whut
is it possible to get 800+ in nirvana with Hi♪ Love Elf♥ (HLE), Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star (FWS), and Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon (FDD) using the Astral Operator (Aop) Dreamseeker (Ds) only?
probs not
hmm 760 possible
just need to cook phase 1 so 2 SO is possible
1 for p1 and one for p2
i might bald 780
if u do plan on 2 SO ur first SO has to be a short one then
something like SO and then ult finish
hold Ult then dip
yeah
then use trans phase to farm ARI
yeah u can wait it out once u destroyed the lance
oh yeah to insta WA
yes
need comments. (dont mind the unnecessary FWS WA haha)
and i do think i could have timed the opening and transition better
Ok this might be a stupid question but genuinely its annoying me a bit haha
how come i cant do a 10 pull even tho i have 5 tickets and over 1400 crystals
cant i just exchange 1400 for 5 pulls 😭
U have to Go to cn server for that kekw
Also.ur rolling for me?
huh?
wait why
Rita?
is the CN server like a different game or sum
Miss Espionage
yeah miss espionage
Yeah ME
pretty sure shes called rita not "BERWINATOR"
🤦♂️
sounds like a doctor doofenshmirtz gadget
Its an acronym you kekw
Whats your current pity
Juan Joya Borja was peak
44 to secured
Why did this take me so long to understand 😭 Why is her acronym even ME
i guess youll feel better if i tell you that i only just got it because of your message
They have some things we don't and are 4 weeks ahead of us but generally it's the same game
One of those things is exchanging crystals for tickets
is it worth playin in CN even tho im in spain
eu is better because EU server is less sweaty so easier nirv
Being able to see into the future since we her CN info is pretty nice, also CN is a lot harder competitive wise and it's pretty hard to even get an account there
Afaik the only option for us is to get an bilibili account and log in with that but idk how that works
dont think you can even play in cn without a cn id/cn phone number and dont bother, you wont understand anything unless you know chinese and you'll just suffer hard if you try to be a meta player, just be happy and stay in eu for a slacc chill time
im in NA server rn tho, my EU one got scrapped because i played 2 days and then didnt play for 6 months lmfao
thats fine too
ah NA pretty similar to EU
i mean i am learning Latin to discover some genshin secrets so trust me i could learn chinese to play something i like haha
but ill stick to NA, i dont feel like starting over
Most of the time people just go with the shortest/funniest abbr both play a bit into that
And ME is pretty short and funny to some people at the same time
I mean we have abbrvs like StFu
Meme
SImp
p1 id do ult before weap ult cause after qte in u had 150sp
not sure about swapping to badum there for the ult wa but you can at least skip the wa there, since ely ba4 will pick it up
transition im not too sure
p1 SO is kinda late and overkill maybe do some evade mald or idk,
p2 id prob actually go for maybe a ba4 ult and then SO, given your dmg at the end there, just so you fit more stuff outside of the pink hp
btw your second so first ult charge was 5 stack not 7 stack
and yea there's a couple wa on badum didn't need to hit
that's prob the main things
I just want to add in, while CN has the ability to do this, it really isn't major in the grand scheme of things.
Unless you're skipping many many new releases, you don't ever accumulate too many blue or pink cards before you need to resort to crystals. Keep in mind income for f2p/light spenders isn't enough to afford every new release for meta purposes.
If you ever find a specific scenario where every roll matters and you need to ensure no excessive pulls in one banner so you can save more for another, you wouldn't be doing ten rolls. Some gacha games may offer a guarantee for doing a 10 roll at once, but this game isn't like that. There is a guaranteed higher rarity every 10 rolls but this can be reached with single rolling (just like in genshin).
You do need to watch the gacha animation every time when single rolling though.
tbh i just like the hype of 10 pulls more, there was really no other reason hahaha
but hey i just got Miss Espionage with a 10 pull! Im happy :)
congrats~
Now i just dont know what i have to do, i guess i look up a guide?
to see what she needs
did you get her weapon too?
im on it
if you want to know how to play her, the ingame tutorial via attack > events tab > tactics class can be an introduction to her moves and sequences
i used up all my luck getting Columbina Ineffa and Columbinas weapon in 64 pulls in genshin. So im guessing im going full pity on weapon
:oo yeah i saw that, ill do that now

Allow me to explain, Captain! 
[Click here](#👶beginner-help message) to see how the Wheel of Destiny Specialization works!
The "Wheel of Destiny" (WoD) ring type is distinguished by generating Phantoms as the character attacks in Stellar Outburst (SO). The tag/attribute that matches with this ring type is "Harmonized Shadow Star".
maybe this can help you further too
probably will because i was just reading it and thers so much text
i don't remember if i ever sent you the general astral ring guide though. If i don't lmk and i'll bring it up
the game is very guilty at vomiting terms at you so yeah
and i thought ZZZ was excessive lol
you might not be able to use rita to her full potential yet when your roster is lacking more gacha astral ring valks but over time things will come together
i hope so, rn i just needed a decent character for the 2nd boss of memorial
i have been using calico as dps on it haha
although i want to say rita gameplay wise doesn't actually suffer too badly without proper supports? She should still be able to perform all her desired attacks within 7 seconds of rondo. But damage wise don't expect anything standard for now
my current roster, rn im also getting terminal through frags soon
I got this, Captain!

her?
yea
what rank should i get her to? i think i read SS somewhere but ive lost track of all these guides LOL
With enough time, SSS

she's top priority over everyone else in the asterite shop because she's widely useful
i don't remember how important each of her ranks are tbh but even a small amount can be significant in hi3 when you later compete against others
i lowk used her trial version on the story and had no clue what she does, is she supposed to be a supp?
mainly a support yes. Although very early players may still use her as a dps. Astral ring valks are multifunctional like that
makes sense! does she work with ME?
#👶beginner-help message

She's actually a very complicated valk to play despite being so accessible. Maybe these two posts can clarify some things on how she works on a more granular level
She doesn't work with ME at a core level, but she still can provide her support effects, and partial benefits to ME (activate leader skills)

Click here to view a list of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them!
Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:
- the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
- the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
- the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).
